2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS INITIATED FOR MY 2010 4RUNNER. TOYOTA STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT OPERATE MY VEHICLE WITH ANYBODY IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THIS IS QUITE UNACCEPTABLE! TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL ASAP!

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED IN 05/2016, BUT NO ACTION HAVE BEEN TAKEN YET. ON 02/24/2017 I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY ASKED ME TO LEAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALER TO BE REPAIR AND RENTED ME A CAR. HOWEVER, AFTER TWO WEEKS THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED YET. THE DEALER HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT HOW LONG THIS WILL TAKE. HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED? SHOULD I BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR SO LONG?

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED ON JUNE 9, 2016 THAT IT COULD BE DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY SUV. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS MATTER. MY SUV IN WHICH I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CARRY 5 PASSENGERS SAFELY WILL ONLY CARRY 4 SAFELY. WHEN CAN I EXPECT THIS TO BE REPAIRED. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AN INCIDENT HAPPENS.

RECEIVED RECALL 5/23/2016. AS OF 3/2/2017 THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE. I HAVE CELLED TOYOTA AND VISITED THE DEALER MAY TIMES. THE DEALER HAS NO INFORMATION AND THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYOTA COULD ONLY TELL ME THAT THE PARTS WILL BE RELEASED AND SHE NO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THEY WILL BE RELEASED. IT THE INFLATOR EXPLODES IT CAN BE LETHAL. NO-ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR 10 MONTHS AND THERE IS NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. TOYOTA IS NOT PROVIDING DUE DILIGENCE. THEY HAVE NOT OBTAINED THE REPAIR PARTS AND PROVIDE NO USEFUL INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD PROVIDE A "LOANER" . THIS IS A CANARD. I WAS TOLD MY ORIGINAL VEHICLE WOULD BE IMPOUNDED AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL REPAIRED. OBVIOUSLY STORING A VEHICLE UNATTENDED OUT IN THE ELEMENTS FOR A YEAR IS NOT AN OPTION. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU "STIMULATE" TOYOTA TO EXPEDITE THE PARTS AND LET THE OWNERS AFFECTED KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. THANK YOU. UPDATED 04/12/2017*JS

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA IS UNABLE TO GIVE ME A VEHICLE IN THE SAME SIZE AS MY CURRENT VEHICLE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH LEAVING MY VEHICLE AT A STAND STILL FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT ANY ISSUES THAT ARISE FROM THE VEHICLE SITTING WILL NOT BE FIXED BY TOYOTA.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS NOTIFIED IN JUNE 2016 ABOUT A DEFECT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. SINCE LAST YEAR I HAVE ASKED OUR TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN HAWAII MANY TIMES ABOUT THE RECALL AND WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE IN. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW AND ADVISED ME NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TILL IT IS FIXED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET THE PARTS IN AND TO FIX THE AIRBAG IF IT IS SUCH A MAJOR AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS REALLY AFFECTING THE USE OF THE SUV.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION VIA MAIL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE OF PASSENGER AIRBAGS. THE NOTICE STATED I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTIFICATION SOON, AS TO WHEN AND WHERE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. THE NOTICE ALSO STATED THAT IT IS ADVISED NOT TO HAVE A PARTY RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT??? WELL, IT HAS BEEN OVER (7) MONTHS NOW AND I AM STILL DRIVING WITH THIS DANGER PRESENT AND UNABLE TO ALLOW ANYONE TO BE SEATED IN THE FRONT...(?) THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED RIGHT AWAY! I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO AWAIT A NOTICE FOR THE DATE, TIME AND PLACE FOR REPAIR. I WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED NOW, BEING THAT AGAIN- IT'S BEEN OVER (7) MONTHS.
